SlXTY.FIVE HUNDRED CAR
PENTERS READY TO STRIKE IN
CHICAGO.
Building Operations will be Sus-
pended Indefinitely Unless the
Contra ctors Comply with the
De anCS Of their EMPLOYERS.

| Ooll III CiOI - SOinpIy Will
De anCs Of their Employers.
CHICAGO, April s. Six thousand
five hundred carpenters employed by
various contractors and shop owners
| throughout the city and suburbs will
cease work tomorrow, and building OPP
erations IN this County will be suspend
ed indefinitely. The leaders of the car
penters, who after a long struggle last
| summer failed TO carry out their de-
mandS for eight hours and an increase
of wages, decided then TO renew the
contest, and think that now, when
building enterprise is reviving and car
penters are wanted, the time has come
TO make employers yield.
Now that sudden and violent
changes of weather occur every twenty
| four hours, almost everyone has a
troublesome cold, which il neglected,
may produce results that may troubl e
you for the remainder of your life. DR..

STARVATION IN TEXAS.
AUSTIN, TEXAS, April 1'-State Sen
ator Woodward, of Calhoun county,
has received statement from Atasco-
sa county sworn to 10y four responsible
citizens and endorsed by the county
Judge, sheriff and county clerk, giving
the names of nineteen families in pre-
cintS three, fv e and six of that county,
whom the affia ants declare are in con-
dition OF starvation OccasiOned 10y the
drought. The number of persons in
each family is stated. showing total
number Of 100 persons. The paper
states that these families are unable to
procure sufficient food, and are now l3-
sorting in some cases to eating carcass
es Gf cattle that have died from starva-
tion and begging bread from their neigh
bors to sustain life. Those who would
aid them if possible are themselves in
distress, and haYe nothing that can be
spared. The signers or the statement
appeal for aid from the Legislature, but
as nothing more can be expected from
that source. it is left for the generous
and more fortunate of other counties TO
render such aid as they can. The state
mant represents deplOrable state of
affairs, and concludes by saying that
whatever is done should he done at
once.
